Kukla's Korner Hockey

The Sens have lost four out of five, but it's the way they're losing games that a bit shocking.

They're the only team in the NHL that is giving up more shots per game than the Leafs. Last year, with injuries with to Jason Spezza and Erik Karlsson, they were the NHL's hardest working team, and among the most miserly when it came to allowing goals. Everyone raved about the impact of Paul Maclean's coaching.

This season, they've gone from the 2nd best defensive team in the league to the 24th. Could Daniel Alfredsson's leadership be missed this much?
